Ballyholme Yacht Club

Ballyholme Sailing club was established in 1900 and began to hold races in 1901. However the development of the club was abruptly stopped due to the outbreak of the First World War when members left to fight in the war. The club was the re-established in 1919 and changed its name to the Ballyholme Yacht Club, and it has been known as this to the present day. The clubs development however was once again interrupted by World War 2, however the club remained active. In 1963 the clubs old clubhouse was demolished and replaced by a two-storey building that now includes the office, the lounge and ladies’ toilets. Further development of the club took pace in 1975 which included a single storey section which houses the Jubilee Room, galley, gents’ changing room and showers. The final stage of development on the club took place in 1996 with the establishment of a Rescue and Training building, and this has been the clubs most recent stage of development.

The club is located on the  Seacliff Road  in Bangor, and is very accessible to all sectors of the public. There is always a member of staff in the office Monday-Friday from 10am-4pm to answer any queries that you may have.

The club has a vast membership consisting of over 750 members, spread across all age groups and genders. Ballyholme offer a number of different types of membership to suit all members of the public;

• Senior £270
• Family £472
• Retired £105
• Intermediate £120
• Outport £55
• Diving Section supplement + £40
• Social £135 (inc. VAT)

If you require any more information about the clubs membership, or joining the club, please do not hesitate to contact Helen or Sandra by phoning 0289127146 or by emailing [email protected] or [email protected].

Club Provision

New members will not have to purchase any of their own equipment as the club will provide buoyancy aids, spray jackets and wetsuits. In terms of equipment, the club provides use of their boats which include; 5 Laser Picos, 4 Laser Bahias, 3 RS Fevas, 2 Toppers and 3 Yaks (safetyboats). These have to be used as part of organised training but the RS Fevas and Toppers can be hired. However for use of these boats, members will be charged a fee of £250 per year for a Topper or £250 per part Icebreaker Series for an RS Feva. Otherwise Laser Picos are available from £20 per Friday night (1-2 people). The club will also cater for those members who have disabilities. To the clubs disappointment they do not have hoists to assist members of physically disabilities, however they do cater for groups of people who are deaf and having learning difficulties.

Training sessions

The club offers a number of different courses which members and non-members can participate in including Sailing, Powerboating, Navigation, First-aid and Marine Radio. In terms of training sessions, they run all year round and take place at different times throughout the year and the training schedule can be on the clubs website. For beginners the club offers “Try-a-sail” taster sessions for new starts which take place throughout the summer or you can take part in private sessions which run all year round. In terms of training sessions there is some variation throughout the year. During the summer holidays cadets (juniors) train during the weekdays and adults at the weekends. However, this changes during the Autumn months and everyone comes on a Saturday afternoon with each session usually costing £10 per person. When junior sessions (dolphins and sharks) are taking place it is imperative that, for health and safety reasons that their parents are present for the entirety of the session.

Some members will organise trips throughout the year to different parts of Ireland and in some cases other parts of the UK and indeed Europe. These trips will however cost the members and the cost of the trip will depend on the location.

Additional information

The club only offers sit-on-top canoeing as part of their summer courses and some members have received their BCU one star qualification though this. The club is seen as both recreational and a performance based club and is in the process of receiving a Clubmark. To attract new members to the club they offer some “Come Try It” (recreational) days which take place one day a month during the summer (June, July and August). The club however does not offer any introduction sessions for potential new members, so it is recommended to come along to one of the recreational days or else a training session to join the club.

Roma communities in Perm Krai: historical and ethnical aspects

Two large groups of Roma are settled in the territory of Perm Krai, the Ruska Roma and Kalderari. Roma live both in cities and countryside. Roma living in the countryside keeps elements of traditional culture. In Perm Krai we can find different families of the Ruska [Russian] Roma: Gorbovichi, Nemzengery, Bashnengery, Polyaki, Sapuny, Gubany. In contrast to the Kalderari the community of Ruska Roma is based not only on family-territorial principle. Sometimes community is based on ethnic-territorial ground when the Ruska Roma living in an urban area despite family ties can be a part of the community. Traditional activity of Ruska Roma living in countryside is a seasonal grazing of livestock. One of the main sectors of activity is trading. Roma sell cars and jewelry. Kelderari live in compact groupings in Perm. They call themselves Moldavska Roma and consider themselves to be part of Ruvoni [wolf in Romani language] family. Traditional activity of Kelderari is metal work (especially tin-smith’s work) which impact also their modern business. The main work activity of men till now is working with metals such as base metal trading and metal items repair. Traditional women activity is fortune-telling. Bilingualism, traditional way of living, ethnic isolation, unique and particular material and spiritual culture are common for all of Roma. The main problems for Roma nowadays are safeguarding of ethnicity and as well as some educational and social issues.

LANDSCAPE AND BIOLOGICAL DIVERSITY OF PROTECTED AREAS NETWORK IN PERM KRAI

• 1 Perm State National Research University, Russia

The problem of creating the systems of specially Protected natural Areas (PA) adequately representing the geographical diversity of different territories has been acute. Creation of the territory nature protection systems always requires comprehensive assessment of the representativeness of the existing PA network. In Perm region the only such research was carried out at the end of the last century. Since then, the region borders, structure and PA network size, as well as the structure of natural resource use have significantly changed. In this study we assess the representativeness of the PA network of Perm region. For this purpose the representation of the PA network on landscape and biodiversity was analyzed. The study identified the endowment of natural areas and the representation of wetlands in the PA network in the region. Protected species of plants and animals which need development of measures for the territorial protection were identified. The size of the PAs necessary to develop the nature protection network was calculated.

History of Perm Krai

For the first time the word “perm” was mentioned in “The Tale of Past Years”, a fundamental source in the interpretation of the history of the Eastern Slavs created in the early 12th century. Perm were one of the peoples who paid tribute to the Kievan Rus. They were found by the first Russian expeditions to the Urals, to the north of the Kama River basin. Later, in Russian chronicles, this territory was called Old Perm or Perm Vychegodskaya.

Unlike Perm Vychegodskaya, the land along the upper reaches of the Kama River became known as the Great Perm. This name is often found in the written monuments of the 14th century. In the 14th - 17th centuries, the Great Perm included extensive lands along the Kama from its origins in the west to the Ural mountain range in the east, and from the upper reaches of the Pechora River in the north to the Chusovaya River in the south.

Novgorod merchants were the first ones who got interested in the Great Perm (furs and tributes). In the 14th - the first half of the 15th centuries, the Grand Duchy of Moscow began to encroach on the lands in the upper Kama. In the early 15th century, the first Russian settlements were founded in the Great Perm.

More Historical Facts…

In the second half of the 15th century, after the Novgorod Republic ceased to exist, the area became part of the united Russian state. Russia significantly expanded its borders to the east and gained access to new natural resources.

In the 17th century, the town of Sol Kamskaya (Solikamsk) became an important center of military, economic and cultural assimilation of the Middle Urals in the north. In the south-east, the newly constructed town of Kungur played the same role. In the first quarter of the 18th century, about 46,000 people lived on the territory of Great Perm, about 65% of them were Russians.

Until 1727, the Middle Urals was part of Siberian gubernia with the center in Tobolsk, then Perm was part of Kazan gubernia, and, from 1781, by order of Catherine II, the Perm region ruled by a governor-general was formed.

It remained the main mining area of the Russian Empire until the end of the 19th century. There were more than 110 mining plants producing cast iron, iron, steel. For a long time, it was the main provider of copper. Salt production was also developed. In the east of the Urals large deposits of platinum were discovered. By the end of the 19th century, gold mining grew twice.

The 20th century was marked by intense growth of the local industry: engineering structure became more complex and rich. During the Second World War, more than 120 plants were evacuated in the Western Urals. Such branches of industry as chemical, non-ferrous metallurgy, oil-processing developed intensely; oil deposits prospecting began; a number of pulp and paper mills was concentrated in the region; new towns grew on the basis of new industries.

In 1938, Perm Oblast was formed. In 1940-1957, it was called Molotov Oblast. In Soviet times, the Komi-Perm Autonomous District was part of Perm oblast. In 1993, with the adoption of the Constitution of Russia, it became an independent subject of the Russian Federation.

In 2003, a referendum was held in which the residents of Perm Oblast and the Komi-Perm Autonomous District supported the unification of the two regions into one. In 2005, these two administrative regions ceased to exist and the united Perm Krai was formed.
